Open Diff: What to Wear?

A few weekends ago, when I got suited up to help campaign my club’s car on the beach at The Race of Gentlemen in Wildwood, New Jersey, I pulled on a vintage-style knit racing jersey; baggy pants; tall, lace-up leather boots of the kind worn in World War I by motorcyclists and aviators; and classic driving goggles.

On the beach, people kept coming up to ask me where I had gotten this or that item… The jersey was handmade by Jill Smith of Hometown Jersey of Joshua Tree, California; the boots, by Tom Mattimore of Mattimore Harness in Laramie, Wyoming; and not to sound too much like a red-carpet fashion plate, my goggles were made by the historic French eyewear manufacturer Jeantet.
